homeless colors text

For many years, Batniji has been collecting, photographing and documenting almost compulsively, traces of life that he accidentally encounters, and that are often left behind by long-gone passers-by: random objects, footprints and shoe impressions on grounds, unintentional pocket-phone snapshots, screenshots... In Homeless Colors, 2024, he uses found colored crayons, ballpoint, or felt pens, going through a meditative, almost spiritual exercise, to retreat from the harsh realities he is facing. He systematically fills drawing paper with monochromic colors until each pen runs out. The process then comes to a natural halt, dictating the completion of an artwork.
